"A wonderful collection of short poems, as I read each one I felt it was describing those Rorschach images. Some really incredible imagery. Favourite was "Crepuscular Creep" very creepy and also crepuscular is a word that isn't used enough these days."

A new mini-review of Juliet Cook's seven year old Blood Pudding Press poetry chapbook, "POST-STROKE"

A new mini-review of Juliet Cook's seven year old poetry chapbook, "POST-STROKE":

" This diminutive collection of poems expresses the author's attempts to live with a health issue that greatly affected her life. The words she chooses to express herself are creative and piercing; abstract, yet clear in intention. Frustration, acceptance and dark humor fill the lines that tell the story between the lines. Most affecting for me is the author's attempt to rescue buried memories. Another moving collection from a verbal artist.."

New interview related to Juliet Cook's POST-STROKE poetry chapbook

A new interview about Juliet Cook’s POST-STROKE poetry chapbook is now up at Poet Hound:

http://www.poethound.blogspot.com/2012/09/an-interview-with-juliet-cooks-post.html

One small snippet from the interview - "...it wasn’t technically inserted with a blow torch, BUT the kind of stuff that was happening seemed so unexpectedly bizarre that a blow torch didn’t seem like all that much of an over the top descriptor in the midst of what was actually going on – which was my carotid artery bleeding out and then platinum mesh getting inserted near my crotch and surgically moved all the way up to my upper neck area – a blow torch seemed to fit into that picture, mentally speaking."

Blood Pudding Press Poetry Treats & Halloween Offerings

Added a couple new Halloween-esque hand-painted zombie magnets to the Blood Pudding Press etsy shop, with even more peculiar doodads to come soon!

The Halloween section of the shop also offers a hand-painted mini zombie gnome and darkly delicious poetry chapbooks, including the limited edition CARNIVORACIOUS collaborative chapbook by Suzanne Grazyna & Juliet Cook. CARNIVORACIOUS was originally published as a limited edition in 2008 - and its limited number of copies quickly sold out. Now as a special Halloween Treat, the chapbook is being made available again for a limited time - only until Halloween 2012!

Also stay tuned for an interview with Blood Pudding Press editor and poet Juliet Cook, about her poetry chapbook, POST-STROKE, scheduled to appear upon the Poet Hound blog later today.

“My mouth is a red velvet orchestra pit

overflowing with carnivorous trumpets.”

“Our flares swerve to capture the other
Luminous nipples tease
The flick of a cobra tongue
Longing to feast in leafy tunnels”

NEW! POST-STROKE is now available

POST - STROKE is now available!

POST - STROKE is Juliet Cook's new 2011 poetry chapbook, created by Blood Pudding Press for DUSIE Kollektiv 5.

POST - STROKE is a small hand-designed snippet of ten new poems and more.

About a year ago, Juliet Cook suffered from an unexpected carotid artery dissection, bleeding out by 99%, aneurysms, and a stroke - and this strange sensation inspired the poems within this collection.
